	FREN 110 SC - France in the ’Hood: Nationhood, Immigration, and the Politics of Identity in France As France struggles to meet the challenges of both European integration and the globalization of its economy, immigration is today being perceived as “a problem.” France’s “problem” with immigration, cannot, however, be viewed simply as a knee-jerk response to the country’s endemic economic crisis.

Topics to be explored: the “banlieue” (the side of France tourists never see: its projects on the outskirts of large cities) as a social and cultural phenomenon; identity politics in France; immigration and nationhood; immigration in the postwar period; citizenship and the rights of immigrants; the resurgence of racist and xenophobic politics in France today; integration vs. multiculturalism; and finally, the impact of immigrants on French culture (Beurs, French rappers, Rai music, etc.).

	FREN 132 CM - North African Literature after Independence In North Africa, as elsewhere, once independence was gained, other struggles emerged though with different objectives and in different forms and contexts.

	FREN 133 CM - The Beur Question in Films and Texts Over the last 30 years a new generation of French citizens has emerged. These are young people of French and North African descent, commonly known as the “beur.” They have grown up in France, in the working-class suburbs, or banlieues, of Paris and other major cities. Many know little of their family’s culture and language, and feel more at “home” in France; though with daily discrimination they are always reminded that they are not really “French.” The texts will draw on recent political and social commentary on religion (the veil) and culture. We will also read literary texts. The films will engage a range of topics, such as exile and Islam, all within the context of the “beur” experience.
